Knowing that many of the learners were not digital natives, my first goal was to ease their fear. I framed AI as an assistant, not the expert, and spent time on data privacy and safety.
Some participants had been pulling prompts from around the web with wildly variable results, so they needed to learn to build prompts tailored to their own needs. To address this, I developed the curriculum around a formula called PACT-P and shared strategies for creating a prompt library.
Practice makes progress, so both the course and the accompanying learning journal provide hands-on opportunities to write and tweak prompts.
